Description So yeah, I guess this makes the name change official.
Been occupying myself with these lately, and finished team CRBN, so I figured I'd upload them al together!
I'll upload all the headshots featured in these at some point as well.

  • Origin & Influences: 

Randa means 'scented tree' in Arabic, thus leading to a green color. Misra is an Old Sanskrit name originally meaning 'mixed, manifold' but later associated with 'honorable'. The older meaning refers to both her family situation, as she has 11 very different siblings and even nieces and nephews by that time, as well as her diversed personality. The new meaning describes her wish, to be remembered as a special person. 

Randa is inspired by the Hindi godess Kali, which outs a bit in her personality, semblance and weapons. Her appearance is based on the typical Indi culture, focusing on dance in particular, without hindering in battle.


  • Nicknames:

Randy.


  • Color:

Green, as the main color I used the chade of green used in the flag of India, the others being a lighter and darker variation of that. I chose green because it's very much the opposite of her. Green often represent serenity, while Hara is in fact rather chaotic.


  • Age:

18, despite her very petite figure and child-like looks.

  • Species:

Human.


  • Appearance:

Randa's a very petite girl, being no taller than 1m58. She has a pale complexion and long very dark green hair, tied together at the bottom and in general very wavy. She has big orangish-red eyes and often sticks her tongue out, most of the time unwillingly.

Her opper body concists of an almost bikini like top, leaving her entire belly exposed. the tops itself is made of a sparkly green fabric, the bottom ending a simple blue. sewn into the top hanges a blue pocketwatch, her symbol on it, which looks necklace like, but instead of hanging aroung her neck, the chain dissapears into the top.
Under that she wear a short similar green skirt with a blue upper ending. It also has a  a blue knot on the left side. She also wears a pair of light green shorts. Around her waist she aslo wears a loose belt-like string with blue ornaments hanging on it.
Lastly she wears a pair of light green balerina's, the lints tied above her ancles. The soles are made out of metal plates, ending in a pointy tip.

 

  • Personality:

Randa has a rather twisted and two-faced personality, mainly due to her older siblings picking on her or even traumatizing her by exposing her to things not appropriate for her age at the time. One side is shy and very insecure, especially around others. She rarely gets 100% comfortable with people, even if she's known them from a long time and have never wronged her in any way. Even Calfuray's caring personalities are not able to completely undo that. This side is however still rather innocent and sweet, unable to understand people's true intentions. 

Randa's other side is a lot more confident and very passionate, that comes out when dancing or fighting, or when she's stubborn. This side, when first met with, is surprising to say the least, compared to her usual behavior. This part of her does tend to get sadistic, and even destructive, when exposed to certain impulses. Especially when they remind her of certain traumatising events involving her sisters. Whenever this happens, it is triggered unwillingly and often as a defence mechanism against any sort of (emotional) harm that would come to her. This part is extremely aggresive, but pretty much blind, only focused on the 'enemy', as well as deaf, to shut out any harm. As she has a love for dancing and just moving, she's a person almost unable to sit still, and when not able to do so, will get very difficult to handle.

Randa has a huge love for dancing, and is very skilled in that. The sort of dance doesn't matter, as she goes from a waltz to ballet to breakdancing. There are very few dances Hara is completely unfamiliar with. Even so, she learns them as she goes, but in a very fast pace. One could show her a new dance in the morning, and she would've mastered it by the evening.
This also leads her to have a grgeat feeling for both rhythm and timing, not only when it comes to music, but also in mundane situations. 


  • Backstory:

Youngest of 11, Randa's main goal is to indentify herself without being compared to her siblings. With her parents needing to take care of so many childeren, and her not being very needy for care, she did not recieve that many attention from them. By her siblings too, she was either ignored, messed with or used by. She has had a lot of trouble to find herself. The only one who stook up for her was her oldest brother Narangi, and gave her the attention she missed at times. 

It's thanks to her brother she was able to discover more about who she was. As a musician, he also influenced her into a love for music, which ultimately lead to dancing. 
After that dancing became one of the most important things in her life. Chosing to become a huntress was also a path she chose to make herself special compared to the others. As something no one in her family ever concidered to do, she thought that it might've been the best decision she took, even if it was dangerous and far from easy.


  • Aura and Semblance:

Randa's semblance has not been fully mastered, or discovered. What's known however, is that she has an amazing reaction speed and reflexes. These are useable in combat, but at this moment the window for using her semblance, making it rather useless at the moment. When she starts getting aggresive and destructive, however, her semblance seems to be fully active and mastered.

  • Fighting Style:

While fighting, Randa seems to be dancing, as well, something which is very much visible when dodging attacking or when 'running'. More than that she tends to say out loud the dance move she is using at that moment, as if teaching others as well. Other than that she tends to count, often to 8, and sometimes curse herself or others softly for being out of pace.

Her actual fighting style contains on using the stretchiness of her weapons to catapult herself as well, which allows her hits to be more powerful and give her a better overview of the situation.
Despite the fact that she's been handling both her weapons for quite some time, and  trained a lot to master them, it is not uncommon that she gets hits from her own weapons. The thongs are still unpredictable at times, and thus it isn't much of a surprise Hara's body has bruises and cuts on on it after battle, even when she wasn't hit.
Even when she gets hit, and, as she'd grown used to getting hits from her own weapons, she barely notices them, unless they actually hinder in conbat. Nonetheless, she continues the best she can.

  • Weapon:

Randa's weapons are a set of whips, named Bulerias and Alegrias. Both have a shooting option on the back of their handle, the blue ornaments on her waist being the ammunition, and have 3 thongs. The whips themselves(thongs) are made of very flexible and stretchy, yet sturdy by combining multiple materials. The whips are also rather light, surpringly enough, making them quick to handle. While both weapons are, when used in a basic manner, no heavy hitters, they're able to pack quite the punch if one combines many strategies and ways of use.

Bulerias' whips can stick together, forming one bigger whip, which is it's most often appearing form. At the end of the thongs are blue metal plates, able to reflect small hits as well as artillery. Bulerias' main function is mostly defencive or field related, its one whip functioning to block melee related hits, the multiple ones used as some sort of shield for missles. She also uses it to unarm opponents.
Alegrias has a rather inefficient 'pocket' version, as the whips cannot join. The thongs are spiked, the spikes increasing over the distance, and end in 4 blue spearpoints. Alegrias on the other hand is her offensive whip. It's used for inflicting stab and cut wounds with the points, or bind opponents while damaging the oppenent with the spikes.

Is this the one that manipulated their brother into always remembering them?
